In this thread, explain what's your next big step in life, how far you are from that step, and how difficult is it for you to reach that goal.

Well...I'm thirteen and i am completely unsure of what lies ahead for me but i would most likely say that the next big step in my life would be one on your list. "Graduating a level from School" here in England we have exam in year 11 which is pupils aged fifteen to sixteen, so i am expected to do well in them and after my results have come through i find out weather i can go to high standard colleges or if i am going to be a dustbin man (No offense to dustbin men.) I wish in my future life to get a degree, marry someone and have a child your list provideds my very needs in life, and the achivements i wish to make on my journey through life. If i were to choose the biggest step for me out of all them i would most likey choose marrigage, then a child. I wouldn't want a child to an unmarried parent or carer. It wouldn't be good for the growing up enviorument. I also wouldn't want to bring a child into this world if i was living in an area surronded by danger, i would belive myself to be selfish if i had a baby just to give me hope and strength when im the one meant to be giving the baby strength through the hard times. However thats a long way away. I just want to feel my life is worth it, that my next big step in life, death. Because i want to know. Is this all really worth it? Does it have a purpose or was i just a pointless fun thing that last then goes after a few years?

The next step in my life is going to college. In a way I’m looking forward to it, but in another I’m scared. High School has been my life for the last few years. I’m getting ready to graduate and I’m nervous. I’ve grown sick of all the drama that is here in my school and I can’t wait to get out. But on another hand, I know I have to face the real world when I get out of school. I’m afraid of loosing all my friends that I have here. When we are together, it’s always hilarious. All my friends are going to different colleges though. We are afraid that through all of this we will become separated. College is my next big step because I really want to teach. I adore literature and writing. I’ll no longer be guarded by my parents and I’ll be stepping into the real world….mmm…oh joy.

Currently I am a freshman in an ivy league school and my next step is finishing college and getting my B.A and moving on on getting my M.D and then finally my Ph.D.......so even though I am going to be finishing college I still have a lot of studying to do till i reach my main goal and that is to become a professor in Forensic Anthropology. I do not see myself marrying and settling down until i get what i always wanted and when I feel like I have a secure job and that I can support myself with my own two feet and hands..maybe then I will be looking forward to getting married and starting a family. So I know that I have a lot of hardships ahead of me and since Anthropology is not a very popular subject unlike being a lawyer or a doctor...and that will make it even harder for me to find a job..but that is what i always wanted to become since I was a little girl and I will accomplish my goals and dreams no matter what comes in my way.

For me I got a job but now i dont like it may do a uni/tafe thing and find a better job, as for marrage, i do it if i can find the right person

well for me i am almost out of high school 2 more wonderfull years left.
Then i am off to college and once i turn 18 next year i am off to being able to join this church that i have been waiting to do for a long time now.
And then i will be able to be with my baby. And then maybe soon be married. you never know. ^^

every thing i want for the future or for the big step in my life many things i have dreaming about it like
- continue study and enter to the college and take the degree
- get a jop
- marry someone i love and he love me and having 2 boys and 2 girls *blush*
- visit many country's
- and many many things in my mind right now ......... =^_^=

I have two.
Graduating from High School and going to College - Which is Bluntly obvious and should happen in two Years Since I'm a Sophmore.
The other is Making the Varsity Team in Hockey and showing how good I am to others. Also gaining respect. This goal is somewhat less predictable, since only 20 people make it. But it's only through High School so I only have Two more chances.
